Based on actual events in the life of award-winning writer/director Dean Lent (Gas Food Lodging, Border Radio), recalling the time that he, along with three high school buddies, embarked on a '70s road trip to the now-defunct Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada in an attempt to prove to himself that he was actually heterosexual (it didn't stick).

Lent uses subtle innuendos to arrive at complete clarity about sexuality without being obvious. That’s no easy feat. That he did it while telling a story both moving and funny is something to be admired.

It's Lent's own story, and he tells it in a film that's evocative and quite lovely.

A beautifully told story of relationships, healing, and forging new paths. The writing and directing are exceptional! I'm eagerly anticipating either a sequel or a prequel to continue this wonderful narrative.

I absolutely adored this film from start to finish! If you believe sexual confusion is a modern phenomenon, think again. Navigating non-heterosexual identities or facing confusion must have been incredibly challenging in the 70s, and this film addresses the topic with grace and beauty.

The movie draws on the director's real-life experiences, adding depth and beauty to the film. The four main characters are endearing, and Blaine Kern delivers a masterful performance as the older brother.

The film's perfect 70s setting makes it effortlessly enjoyable. The performances are outstanding, with Marguerite Moreau, Jonathan Silverman, and a particularly dashing Tyler Lawrence Gray leading the pack. Newcomer Oliver Hibbs Wyman shines as Marc, capturing the audience's attention throughout. I was completely captivated.
